By Rin Porter
After months of planning, the
moving of furniture, books, and
equipment from the Eagle Bend
school building to the Clarissa
school building began on July 18.
Beginning this fall, all grades in
the Eagle Valley district will be
housed in the former Clarissaelementary school.
The industrial arts and agri-
culture programs will remain in
the Eagle Bend building, and
students will be bused there.
The superintendents office will
also be located in Eagle Bend, at
least for the 2011-2012 year.
School board members dis-
cussed these and other topics at
their regular monthly meeting
July 11 in Eagle Bend. The
school board will likely hold all
its meetings in Eagle Bend from
now on, because their meeting
room at Clarissa has been con-
verted to other uses.School custodians and princi-
pals gave updates on the
progress of converting the
Clarissa building, and cleaning
and packing at the Eagle Bend
building. Five new fire doors
will be installed at the Clarissa
building in August. New carpet-
ing has been installed and paint-
ing has been completed in sever-
al rooms and offices. The mov-
ing of banks of student lockers
will take place in August. Extra
books and memorabilia are being
given away.
Secondary principal Barry
Johnson reported on the hiring
interviews he and a committee
conducted during June. Johnson
and the committee recommend-
ed hiring Michael Arvidson half
time to teach physical education,
Sara Erickson full time to teach
math, Kate Kaluza half time to
teach social studies, Patrick
Ross full time to teach science,
Annette Sieling part time to
teach secondary art, and John
Sieling part time to teach ele-
mentary grades. All the new
hires, except the Sielings, have
less than one year of teaching
experience, and are eligible for
coaching assignments and other
co-curricular activity assign-
ments.
Mr. Johnson also said infor-
mation on class schedules will go
out to families the week of July
18, now that hiring is almost
completed. One more position
must be filled.
Superintendent Jim Madsen
presented a variety of matters to
the board, some for decision and
some for information and discus-
sion. First, he recommended and
the board approved the purchase
of 25 new computers for the
school computer lab, most likelythrough state bid. Second, he
recommended and the board
approved the upgrading of the
school website. Third, he rec-
ommended and the board
approved participation in the

Commissioners reviewcountys financial health
2011
y Tim King
Todd County Commissioners
ceived a report on the countys
scal health at their Tuesday, July
9 meeting. The countys auditor,
oug Host of Larson Allen, told
mmissioners the countys
nances continue to be in general-
good shape. He also said a num-
er of concerns from last years
udit had been adequately
ddressed. Among the auditors
ncerns that were addressed by
odd County was establishing a
2,000 cap on credit card debt.
A continuing concern of the
uditor that was not addressed is
he adequate segregation of county
ccounting functions. He said
ecause the county takes in money
om so many different sources it is
mportant to segregate the
ccounting functions to safeguard
he county. He said he recognized
hat it was difficult to do this dur-
g economic hard times but segre-
ation of accounting functions was
ven more important during eco-
omic hard times. County
dministrator Nathan Burkettaid some, but not all, of the issues
lated to segregating accounting
nctions will be addressed by com-
ning the Auditor/Treasures office
ith the Recorder and Assessors
fices.
It will be easier to add an addi-
onal audit point to ensure no one
is "skimming" the till, Burkett
said.
The auditor also pointed out the
county has fewer financial reserves
than is recommended by the state
of Minnesota. However, he said
Todd Countys reserves have con-
tinued to increase steadily since an
all time low in 2007. The state of
Minnesota recommends that Todd
County have five months of
reserves on hand. Currently Todd
County has enough reserves to pay
just a little less than four months
of expenditures.
In a separate discussion County
Administrator Burkett told com-
missioners that a draft 2012 budg-
et had been prepared. The budget
will likely be discussed at the com-
missioners next planning session.
STATE SHUT DOWN
Commissioners decided not to
issue any layoff notices to county
employees due to the pending solu-
tion to the state government shut
down. In early July commissioners
had planned to issue a number of
layoff notices at the July 19 meet-
ing. The government shut downcost Todd County slightly over
$1,000 per day in lost revenue from
the state, according to
Administrator Burkett.
COURT HOUSE RENOVATION
Foundation and excavation
problems are providing the coun-
tys historic courthouse construc-
tion manager Earl Feuchtman, of
Contegrity Group, with some sur-
prises. Early in the excavation
process at the old courthouse,
workers for the excavation compa-
ny were surprised to discover that
the floor of the old Todd County jail
was a cement slab riddled with
steel reinforcement bar. The slab
had been buried when the jail was
demolished many years ago. The
steel reinforced concrete was diffi-
cult to remove and increased the
cost of excavation by $10,191.
Feuchtman said he, and the
project architect, were surprised to
learn that the foundation of the
courthouse was just four feet of
stones and boulders. Additionally,
he said they learned the partial
basement under the courthouse
was probably not part of the origi-
nal courthouse. He speculated the
basement was constructed in the
1920s or 1930s. As a result of hav-
ing learned the basement and
foundation are not as expected,
foundation improvements will
have to be made. Feuchtman said
the architect is working on plansfor those improvements. He said he
expected the cost of the foundation
improvements will be around
$40,000.

tion and foundation improvements

HAPPENINGSThe Browerville Blade, Page 2 Thursday, July 28, 2011
A lightning bolt travels up to 60,000 miles per second and can reach temperatures as high as
50,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Florida has the highest instance of lightning fatalies; over 8,300 people have been killed by
lightning from 1940 to 1991 in the United States.
The best chance to be fatally struck by lightning is before you see the storm as lightning can
travel horizontally over six miles!Contrary to popular belief, lightning does strike twice in the same place. Tall buildings such as the Sears Tower
in Chicago are struck repeatedly
Bad family genes? A woman gets struck by lightning in 1995. Three weeks prior her nephew was struck and
suffered temporary blindness. Years before in 1970 her cousin was zapped when lighting hit her umbrella, but
this wasn't the first time, she was also struck once before in 1965. Her grandfather was killed by lightining in 1921
and his brother struck and killed in the 1920's!
The largest tornado in the United States was around two and a half miles wide. It happened in Nebraska in
2004. Although tornados have been reported worldwide, most happen in the United States!
The Enhanced Fujita Tornado scale measures wind speeds of tornados from EF0 to an EF5. Only 51 EF5
tornadoes have been recorded since 1953 and just two since 2007. The wind speed of an EF5 tornado is over
200 miles per hour.

Fishing for trouble! UndergroundMost of the people who read my column know I write about fish-
ing most of the time, and the rest of the time it's about hunting. I seem
to have a one track mind when I'm not at work, and that brings me
to the reason I've been absent some of the past weeks. I've been
putting in some major hours at my regular job that leaves me little
time to sit in the boat much less in front of this computer. There just
doesn't seem to be enough light in the day to keep the chores done
around home and have a little free time.
However, I've been thinking about writing about this topic for a
while now. Many of my readers are from out of the area, but the same rules or tips apply in your
home state. My day job is an underground utility locator. My boss calls us "Damage Prevention
Specialists." I'm a first year rookie in this line of work, but for the most part, the job combines a
lot of the things I love; first being travel. My coverage area is a ballpark figure of 2,200 sq. miles.
On a good day I do about 30 locations a day, so you do the math. There isn't much time wast-
ed sitting down for lunch. Most days I grab a quick granola bar between towns. I'm not here to
share my route with you, or eating habits for that matter, what I'd like to do is give a few tips for
people who have never called 811 for a locate, and maybe even share some info with regular
contractors who call in locates every week, or every day.
From a locators point of view, we get the work order and show up where someone plans to
dig. It might be a new office building, 20 miles of new highway, or someone planting a tree in
their front yard. Fom the locators point of view, everyone is just as important as the next. The
goal is to prevent anyone from hitting any underground utilities; Gas, Electric, Sewer, Water,
Phone, or Cable TV/Fiber internet. The last thing anyone wants is damage! While electric and
gas are the most dangerous; not only is there down time to repair lines when theyre hit, but
also the risk of loss of life. In my training, we were shown pictures of some very serious hits,
and I can assure everyone, they don't want to be on the receiving end of one, like the farmer
who put a fence post through a high pressure gas line! He was never found, but the area of the
blast flattened many acres of the field around the huge hole in the ground from the blast.
In my months as a locator, I've come to realize there are three types of people that call in.The first type are ones that feel it is a burden and waste of their time and money. If they can
get away with not calling, they do. In this same category, are the ones who complete or start
digging, uncover something they didnt figure was there, cover it back up and call Gopher (811)
after the fact. One thing is certain, those types have either had close calls or damages, and if
not, it's only a matter of time before they do. And in the end, after there is a damage, we
(Locators) end up being called out to the dig area anyway. Keep in mind the call is FREE.
Second are people who are so burdened with the fact that they must call before they dig,
they send the locator to the site and in the marking instructions state to "Mark entire lot!" In
many cases, from new construction, installation of sprinkler systems, and even some major
landscaping projects the "Mark entire lot" is a good idea. But in some cases Ive seen, people
don't understand what goes into a "Mark entire lot" locate. Not only will this cover the lot the
work is taking place on, but may also cover all the lots around the project area as well. Some
contractors who are holding a grudge about having to call in a locate in the first place, think this
is a funny way to get even, or just the easiest way to call in a locate. As a locator, Ive been
chewed out by neighbors of the project because they don't want their lawn covered in paint and
flags. But as a Damage Prevention Specialist" we are required to mark at least 15 feet outside
of the work area in most cases. Some home owners hate seeing a guy walking through their
beautiful flower bed to get to the power meter when the contractor is just going to grind onestump 50 feet from the house. But, when the order is placed, locators are responsible to locate
the entire lot when that is what the ticket says. We get paid by the hour, but its the customer
we try to keep happy. Believe me, when someone starts hollering at me for painting their yard,
the first person I tell them to call is the contractor.
So, how can this all be prevented you might ask? It's as simple as white paint or a stick with
an old shirt stuck in the ground. If a contractor is digging footings for a new 20 x 30 garage,
keep in mind we will locate the entire lot if thats what it says on the ticket. However, if it says
to mark only within the boundaries, or a 10 foot radius of a stump about to be ground, or a white
flag where someone plans to plant a tree, not only does it save the locators time, but also gets
us to more locates in a day, keeping more contractors happy. There are two more types of con-
tractors that fit in the above mentioned group. Those waiting for the locator to get there, and
those that have to wait even longer for the locator because of an update ticket of 7 miles of
highway for the 5th time. Working together, and marking out the exact area the digging will take
place saves everyone time, money, and the peace of others around the work area.
The third type of people who call in locates are people who feel sorry for having me come
out because they are only going to put up a tent, install a new horseshoe pit or a new egress
window on the house. They feel theyve made others go out of their way and wasted their time
and money. I can assure everyone, no job is too big or too small. Only an emergency locate is
more important than a routine ticket. Your call is just as important as the next. It's better to be
safe than sorry. I wish there were more people that fell into this group. They take the steps
needed to prevent damage, and call well in advance, giving the locator plenty of time to get to
the location and not be pressured by a deadline.
So keep in mind, It's a free call, and it pays my bills! With any luck, all the extra work will
give me extra time on the hard water this winter. So you see, once again, it's all about fishing.

In the July 14 issue of the Browerville
Blades Looking Back Section for 50
years ago, the prices for the materials for
a fallout shelter were listed. There was no
location of a fallout shelter in Browerville
mentioned. The Blade has had many
inquiries about the location of a shelter in
Browerville, and would like to ask our
readers to let us know if they know of any
fallout shelter built in Browerville and its
location. Please call 320-594-2911, or

My morning routine con-
ists of sitting on the front
orch, looking over the lake,
watching the birds and other
wildlife while I drink my cof-
ee. If I spend a half hour or so
oing this, Im more prepared
or the less relaxing parts my
ay may bring.
The heat wave weve been
xperiencing recently seems
o have increased the wildlifectivity in the early morning.
During the day when the tem-
erature and humidity near
00, not even the sparrows
ome out. Everything seems
o be making up for lost time
n the relatively cool early
morning hours. Deer were
treaming down to get a drink
nd the bluebirds were quick-
y devouring the mealworms
my wife left out for them the
ight before. I started won-
ering about the fish. Would
sh take advantage of the cool
water of the early morning? I
know in temperatures like
weve been experiencing, the
first foot or two of a lake or
pond can warm up dramati-
cally. I could forego my second
cup of coffee to check it out.
I grabbed the fishing rod, a
bucket, and the dogs, and
headed for the lake. The dogs
were happy to start the daywith a swim and thankfully
ignored me while I started
casting off the end of the dock.
On the second cast, I felt that
familiar light tug and set the
hook in an eating sized crap-
pie. I put him in the bucket
and went back at it. Within
fifteen minutes, I had five
nice crappies, leaving twenty
minutes to clean them, take a
shower and leave for work.
Being short on time and not
thinking to bring my fillet
knife, I decided to just gut
them with my pocket knife
and deal with the details
later. Just a word of caution,
its always good to inform
ones wife when leaving a
bowl of almost whole fish in
the refrigerator. My wife has
grown accustomed to many
things, and is amazingly tol-
erant, but its not good to star-
tle a woman early in the
morning.
As I worked through the
day, I thought about the tasty
crappies cooling in salt water
in the refrigerator. The
thought of sweet corn and
crappies could cause a person
to lose concentration. Rather
than go ahead and fillet them
as usual, I decided to grill
them whole on a cedar plank.
Im not sure if the cedar
planks sold in the lumber
yard are the same as the ones
a person can buy at cooking
supply or sporting goods
stores, but just in case they
arent, I get mine from amajor sporting goods store
that sends out a new catalog
twice each week.
I soaked the cedar slab sub-
merged in water for an hour
or so and fired up the grill. I
rubbed the crappies with olive
oil, salted and peppered
inside and out and lined them
neatly on my cedar board. The
steam rose and hissed when I
placed the board on the hot
grill. I closed the lid and
turned off the fire under my
fish leaving the other side of
the grill on high. Fifteen min-
utes later sweet smelling
steam rolled out of the grill
when I opened it up. The meat
flaked and the skin rolled off.
My wife had the sweet corn
done at about the same time I
finished the fish. Its hard to
beat the taste of fresh sweet
corn, but the sweet smokey
taste of the crappies did just
that.
I discovered, even in the
heat of summer, at the right
time, a person can catch at
least enough fish for a meal,
and its well worth the effort
for such a gourmet treat.

Appreciate the Becker genealogyGees, nothing like picking up the latest copy of the Blade and finding

ext edition to see if anyone writes a Letter to the Editor with more or dif-
rent information. Thanks, again! If you ever decide to teach a genealo-

Hoping to instill some sentiment and realityTo the editor:
Recently the Minneapolis Star Tribune has heard from readers bemoan-
g the use of the new fire pits in urban areas. It is asserted that wood
moke can be a great hazard in a neighborhood that is home to sufferers ofsthma or any other respiratory problem. Extrapolate this to the huge billows
f wood smoke (possibly containing asbestos, tar, leaded paint) emanating
om the approved arson that destroyed the William Kahlert house a year
go. Because of the wind direction at the time, the smoke was directed, at
round level, into a large residential neighborhood.
The progressive element in Browerville appears to be winning the cam-
aign to make the town look like it didnt exist prior to World War II. Any evi-
ence of cut-of-fashion sentimentality must be relegated to a landfill - or
orse, go up in smoke as a time when concerned people are seriously think-
g about atmospheric pollution.
In my letter last year, I suggested, among other avenues, that the Kahlert
ouse be dismantled and the salvageable lumber be available for re-use. In
is connection I am enclosing a copy of an article that was reprinted in The
Washington Post, extolling the advisability of saving rather than destroying
e-usable lumber and architectural antiques. You may find it a valuable serv-
e to reprint the article in The Blade, with the hope it might instill some sen-
ment (and reality) that Browerville WAS - IS and WILL BE, should smokend landfills no longer be considered progressive.

Discards are in demand for renovatorsBy Kathleen Lynn
Renovating? You could rip up the room and sweep everything into the
trash bin. But a growing number of homeowners, architects and builders are
trying to reuse or recycle construction materials whenever possible, for envi-
ronmental and aesthetic reasons.
Architect Anthony Garrett went this route with the gut renovation of a
Hoboken, NJ, building. Its wooden floor joists, more than a century old, were
reclaimed and trucked to Montville Township, NJ, to reused as flooring and
exposed beams in a mixed use development.
Its dismantling as opposed to demolition, said Garrett, of the Bilow
Garrett Group in Ridgefield Park, NJ. I cant think of anything more sustain-
able than that. Theres an embedded energy in that material that we salvage,
and we dont have to cut any more trees down.
With construction waste making up as much as 25 percent to 50 percent
of the junk in landfills, the push to salvage building materials is gaining ahuge amount of momentum, said Anne Nicklin, executive director of the
Building Materials Reuse Association, an Oregon based trade group.
Reused materials are not just better for the environment; they also can
be of higher quality, she said. You cant buy old-growth timber at Home
Depot, but you can find it in a building thats coming down, Nicklin said.
Because reusing materials requires careful deconstruction of a room or
building, it is usually more time consuming and can be more expensive than
simple demolition. Theres a steep learning curve for a lot of contractors,
said Petia Morozov of the architecture firm MADLAB in Montclair, NJ.
Morozov and her partner, Juan Alcala, worked recently on Alcalas brothers
home, a ranch house that was taken down to the foundation and rebuilt. They
reused a lot of the wood and brick. Cypress wood paneling and some floor-
ing from the houses interior werent needed in the new design but were sal-
vaged and resold, helping to offset the costs of the project.
Homeowner Carlos Alcala said he and his wife, Vicki, were motivated
partly by a desire to be green and partly by their thoughts that the reused
brick is more attractive and preserves some of the houses history. Savingmoney was also part of the equation. When it makes sense, especially from
an economic perspective, theres no reason why you shouldnt reuse mate-
rials, he said.
Municipalities, worried about scarce landfill space, are offering cheaper or
faster permits for deconstruction, rather than demolition, Nicklin said. And
federal agencies offer training to workers on how to salvage building materi-
al. She estimates 75 percent or more of most building can be reused or recy-
cled.
A number of nonprofit retail outlets offer a marketplace for old building
materials. They include Connecticut based Green Demolitions. Green
Demolitions targets affluent homeowners who decide their kitchens are quite
right, but feel guilty about dumping cabinets and appliances that are some-
times only a few years old.
Green Demolitions sold 600 kitchens last year in its three stores; most
were donated by homeowners, but about 100 were store displays donated
by kitchen remodeling contractors.
When you think about something being thrown out, sometimes thats
where the opportunity is, Green Demolition founder Steve Feldman said. He
estimates his company keeps 2 million pounds of debris out of landfills eachyear.
Those who buy the old kitchens and other materials at outlets such as
Green Demolitions find discounts of 50 percent to 80 percent.
Reusing or recycling materials can help builders get a stamp of approval
known as LEED, for leadership in energy and environmental design. LEED
certification is awarded by the nonprofit U.S. Green Building Council, which
gives builders credit for keeping materials out of landfills.
A decade ago, the marketplace was unsophisticated in its ability to effec-
tively divert a large amount of materials from the landfill, said Daniel
Topping, an architect with NK Architects in Morristown, NJ. But its a lot eas-
ier these days to find a new home for old materials. Its just a little more leg-
work, Topping said.

Dear friends,
Wow, the last paper of July already! Weve already received the school
supply lists from the school, and the weekend shoppers were full of back to
school supply ads. For having almost no spring, our summer is zipping by in
a big hurry. Better get out and enjoy the rest of it while you can.
I did just that for a couple of days last week. I took off on Thursday with
my friend Dale and his two boys, Brandon and Jordan, for a fishing trip toCross Lake on the Whitefish Chain. Ive been in that area before, but never
on the water. What a different experience that was. The area is immense,
with literally hundreds of channels and bays connecting the various lakes
that make up the chain. Ive never seen that many high dollar boats in one
place at one time before in my life. They all made my Lund fishing boat look
pretty small, and cheap. I dont understand why all these people need
$50,000 - $200,000 boats. I suppose, simply because they can. There are also
lots of homes with float planes at their docks, as well as up to three boats
each. Lots and lots of money, or financing, in that area.
Our fishing was not super great, but we did pretty well. Brandon and
Jordan caught the only two walleyes, but we caught a lot of other fish; espe-
cially northerns. We could barely keep them off the hook. We got a good
bunch of little ones to pickle, and plenty of larger ones to fillet, so there was
no shortage of fish for anyone.
Im sure all our readers are glad the Minnesota Government has finally
came to an agreement and things should be back to normal soon.
At the Blade Office, we have received many positive comments about theseries of family history stories weve been running the past several months,
and welcome your suggestions for any future stories you might like to see us
work on.
Nicholas has been gone the majority of the summer, and Im actually look-
ing forward to him coming home for a while. I need a break from Benjamin,
the puppy.
Nic has been in Duluth, Minneapolis, and Zimmerman, moving from fam-
ily member to family member, taking in all the local culture and events. I
hope hes having a good time, and ready to come home soon.
Speaking of coming home soon, Jordan is going to grace us with her pres-
ence for a couple of days this week. This is very rare, as she never comes
home during the week. I wonder what she wants.......
Im going to cut this short. Its Monday morning and I have a lot of catch-
ing up to do after being gone for a few days. Enjoy the cooler weather.

Sheriffs ReportA black lab, wearing a camouflage collar, was picked up in Clarissa on
uly 18, and taken to the Long Prairie Vet Clinic. The dog had followed a
amily home on July 17 from the area of County 11 and 340th St. To claim
he dog contact the Long Prairie Vet Clinic at 320-732-6922.
On July 18, at 2:13 pm, an ATV accident on 175th Ave, Reynolds
ownship, was reported. Tyler Mason and Jamie Wieling, both of Long
rairie, were northbound on 175th Ave, when they lost control and flipped
he ATV on its side. The ATV started on fire and the Long Prairie Fire
epartment responded. No one was injured; the ATV was a total loss.
At 4:41 pm, July 21, Michael Traxler, 53, rural Long Prairie, was herd-
ng horses from the pasture into a corral, when a horse attempted to breakee. Traxler, operating a 2007 400 CC Artic Cat ATV, owned by Brad
helen, attempted to chase the horse when he struck some rocks and ruts,
ost control and overturned. The incident occurred at the Brad Thelen

Members of the Browerville Red Hat
ociety held their annual luncheon at
an Bentzs home on Wednesday, July
th. Each month ladies of the Red Hat
ociety meet to socialize, eat, and just
et out of the house.
History of the Red Hats
The red hat trend began around 1996,
hen a woman named Sue Ellen Cooper
pulsively bought a bright red fedora at a
rift shop while visiting a friend in Tucson.
year later she read a poem called
Warning by Jenny Joseph, which depictsolder woman in a purple clothing with a
d hat. The poem goes:
When I am an old woman I shall wear
rple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and
esn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on
andy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no
oney for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when
m tired
And run my stick along the public rail-
ings
And make up for the sobriety of my
youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick flowers in other people's gar-
dens
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow
more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a
go
Or only bread and pickle for a weekAnd hoard pens and pencils and beer-
mats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that
keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the
street
And set a good example for the chil-
dren.
We must have friends to dinner and
read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little
now?
When suddenly I am old, and start to
wear purple.
Sue Ellen, around 1997, gifted a few of
her friends with a vintage red hat and acopy of the poem since she loved whimsi-
cal decorating ideas and thought a red hat
on a hook next to the framed poem would
look nice.
One day, the friends realized that they
were becoming sort of a Red Hat Society
and decided that they should go out to tea
wearing the red hats and purple dresses
to complete the poems image. The first
RHS chapter began on April 25, 1998. The
women encouraged other interested
women to start their own chapter. A sec-
ond chapter of Red Hats began in Florida
soon after.
The Red Hat Society has now spread
across the globe. There has been three
successful Red Hat Society conventionswhere an entire hotel was filled with
women wearing red hats and purple out-
fits.It is said, as of 2005, the Red Hat
Society had 40,000 chapters worldwide.
The Red Hat Society
The Red Hat Societys is a global soci-
ety of women that supports and encour-
ages women in their pursuit of fun, friend-
ship, freedom, fulfillment, and fitness. The
following quote by
Sue Ellen Cooper, founder of the Red
Hat Society, explains what the society is
about: "The Red Hat Society began as a
result of a few women deciding to greet
middle age with verve, humor and elan.
We believe silliness is the comedy relief of
life, and since we are all in it together, we
might as well join red-gloved hands and
go for the gusto together. Underneath the
frivolity, we share a bond of affection,
forged by common life experiences and a
genuine enthusiasm for wherever life
takes us next."

the Red Hat Society visit www.redhatsoci-
ety.com.
Commissiners, continuedwill be paid for out of a $312,000 contingency fund. The contingency fund
is part of the overall budget for the renovation project. Feuchtman said
he expected to use about half of the contingency fund by the time the ren-
ovation project is completed.
Feuchtman also said there has been speculation as to whether the
courthouse hill had been built or was a natural hill. He said he was now
convinced the courthouse hill was a natural hill.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS
Commissioners approved five conditional use permit applications pre-
sented by Planning and Zoning Administrator Garry Johanson. Two of
the Conditional Use Permits were for small shore land developments in
Grey Eagle and Burnhamville townships. A third was for a feed lot expan-
sion on the James and Marie Noska farm in Iona Township.
Two of the after the fact permits were awarded. Daniel and Sarah
Hershberger, of Iona Township, had been operating a sawmill for six
months before a local resident called the county to report they were oper-
ating a business without the proper permits. Stella Christenson and Todd
Smith, of Staples Township, had been operating a welding and small
engine repair shop for some weeks, or months, before their operation was
reported to the Count Zoning office.
Commissioners discussed adding a penalty fee to the regular permitfee for the two businesses. Ultimately, they declined to penalize the appli-
cants.
BROAD BAND INITIATIVE
Commissioners agreed to a proposal from Administrator Burkett to
place into the Countys 2011 budget the $82,500 in broad band internet
grants that have been received by Todd County from various organiza-
tions. The grants will be used primarily for a broad band internet feasi-
bility study. Todd County is required to provide $20,000 in matching
funds for the project. County Administrator Burkett said he expected the
feasibility study would begin soon. He said results of the study should be
available in the fall.
Commissioner Randy Neumann voted against the measure. He said
he was concerned about the potential overall cost of a broad band inter-
net service in Todd County. Neumann had voted for a similar measure at
the May 17 meeting.
BREAKFAST ON THE FARM
Extension Educator Randy Pepin announced the Todd CountyLivestock Advisory Committee will hold its third annual Breakfast on the
Farm Saturday August 6. The event will be held on the Jeff and Corinna
Rohde farm near Grey Eagle and will include breakfast, farm tours, and
childrens activities.
BILLS
Commissioners voted to pay $92,074.91 in bills. Among them was
$6,344 paid to Big Boyz Truck Wash and $4,749 to Phil Holbrook. The bill
to Phil Holbrook was to pay for making a video for Todd Countys SHIP,
or Statewide Health Improvement Project. County Administrator
Burkett said the video portrayed successful SHIP projects in Todd
County. The video was paid for from state grant funds.

Next, Mr. Madsen suggested
several cost saving measures.
With the imminent retirement
of bookkeeper Pam Pontius after
16 years of service to the dis-
trict, there is an opportunity to
reorganize the district office.
Mr. Madsen offered options to
the board, including sharing a
centralized office with Bertha
and Verndale, contracting with
the regional education office for
payroll and billing services, and
hiring part-time help for data
entry. He suggested the district
change from two pay periods per
month to one, to save payroll
costs. He pointed out that other
districts use a four-day work
week in the summer, and indi-
cated that could be done in
Eagle Valley as well. He asked
the board to think over these
ideas.
Finally, Mr. Madsen summa-
rized his recent review of budg-
ets and trends. He pointed out
student enrollment has dropped
from 356 in 2008-2009 to 314
expected in 2011-2012. The
lower enrollment has reduced
school funding from $3,318,198
in 2008-2009 to $2,966,329, a
difference of $351,869. At the
same time, costs of food, fuel,
and transportation have
increased. This coming year,
the district will run a deficit of
$264,372, Mr. Madsen estimat-
ed. There is nothing that can be
done about that, he said.
The next regular meeting of
the board will be August 8 at
7:30 PM.
